Carter Wa-Bocho users

The profile is so so flat that it looks like a nakiri replacement for people who prefer a sharp tip. I still see this as a veggie prep knife. I guess this falls in line with Takeda's Banno Bunka. This this the point of this knife? Pun intended. I'd like to get some feedback from people who use this thing.

I have a T. Bunka. Its my go to butcher knife if I'm working with boneless meat. I've found the the T. is not that thin behind the edge and compared to a proper laser, it becomes apparent that in stock form the knife needs thinning.

I have a 6" Carter wa-bocho. It's not very exciting. I wouldn't say it's a "veggie knife" exclusively, and it can be fun to take out now and then, but the profile and length certainly limit its useability.
